-
- We have a Sun SparcStation with SunOS 4.1.3 and GCC 2.3.3...
-
- I retrieved the X11-R5 distribution, applied all patches, changed
- site.def to use GCC, and proceeded with:
-
- make World BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="-DNOSTDHDRS"
-
- The compile worked fine.
-
- -------------- Problem 1: ----------------
-
- Then I issued:
-
- make install
-
- It bombed while installing "xterm".
-
- "xterm" had already been built, but install wanted to link
- "xterm.inst". The linker reported that "alloca" was an undefined
- symbol.
-
- ------------- Problem 2 ---------------
-
- Even those clients that had been installed will not run. We tried to
- execute them from other hosts and every client returns:
-
- Error: can't open display ***
-
- The DISPLAY variable is set correctly, and "xhost +" has been run on
- the server side.
-
- For those who have successfully built R5, are there any more caveats
- that I haven't taken into account?
-
- Also, does anyone have an R5 distribution compiled on a SparcStation
- with SunOS 4.1.3 that we could possible snag the binaries?
-
- Thanks for any and all responses!
